I refer to “the hard and soft option”, concerning rising sea levels and
coastal erosion (Forum, 23 November, p 50). The country is running short of
sites for rubbish dumps. In places where sea walls are deemed necessary to
protect farmland, could this material be used behind them to give ever
increasing defence in depth? It would also keep scavenging seagulls where they
are supposed to be.
